“…In a study of patients with Parkinson's disease, illness perceptions differed between depressed and nondepressed participants, and also according to disease stage (Hurt et al, 2012). Moreover, associations between illness perceptions and outcome have been dependent on factors like phases of treatment (Lau-Walker, 2006) and self-perceived health status (Karademas, 2012).…”

The number of persons living with chronic illness in the Western world has increased over the years, much due to improvements in medical treatments (World Health Organization (WHO), 2008). Persons with chronic illness need to cope with symptoms and distress in order to maintain quality of life despite their illness. As suggested by the Common-Sense Model (CSM), accurate perceptions of illness form the cognitive basis for the person's adaptive coping responses (Cameron and Leventhal, 2003;Petrie and Weinman, 1997). Perceptions of illness are therefore related to, yet separate from, the strategies the person can use for coping with illness (Cameron and Leventhal, 2003;Leventhal et al., 1980). Coping responses, in turn, are evaluated by the person in terms of their perceived effect on the health threat. The CSM, thus, depicts a selfregulatory system: Appraisals of coping influence the choice of future coping responses, leading to the abandonment of ineffective

“…For example, social rejection and reduced social contact have been found to be associated with depression in people with PD (e.g., [60, 93]). Furthermore, experiencing psychological difficulties may further fuel the stigma associated with PD, as mental health difficulties in themselves have been found to be stigmatising [37].…”

Research investigating the psychological difficulties experienced by people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is dominated by individualistic neurobiological and psychological perspectives. Therefore, this opinion paper draws on a reformulation of the social model of disability, Thomas' (1999) and (2007) social relational approach to disablism, to offer an alternative way of conceptualising psychological difficulties experienced by people with PD. This opinion paper explores the ways in which socially imposed restrictions and stigma may contribute to psychological difficulties by using Thomas' (2007) concept of psychoemotional disablism. By using the lens of psychoemotional disablism, this paper demonstrates that people with PD can be exposed to stigmatising attitudes and interactions which could contribute to restrictions, feelings of shame, and psychological difficulties such as depression. Accordingly, it is argued that further attention to the link between psychological difficulties and social dimensions of disablism in PD is needed in both research arenas and clinical practice to broaden understandings and interventions for people with PD.

“…Those with depression have a more negative emotional response to being diagnosed with PD, a more negative perception of the consequences of having PD, such as feeling obligated to withdraw or avoid previously-enjoyed activities, and a more negative subjective response to treatment [85]. Cognitive dysfunction is more common in depressed PD patients without dementia [86] and these individuals have worse scores on scales of motor function and activities of daily living [87].…”

Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and add significantly to the burden of disease. These symptoms are most commonly part of the disease spectrum owing to pathological changes within relevant brain regions. Neuropsychiatric problems include disorders of cognition, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to dementia, psychotic symptoms, including, most commonly, well-formed visual hallucinations and paranoid delusions, and mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. The other common cause of neuropsychiatric problem is secondary to use of dopaminergic drugs. Some PD patients may develop behavioral disorders, including impulse control disorders (ICDs) and addictive symptoms. Psychosis can be due to a mixture of underlying pathology, with triggering or worsening of symptoms with changes to PD medications. Currently, management of these disorders primarily uses therapies developed for general psychiatry and cognitive neurology, rather than specifically for PD. However, significant adverse effects, such as worsening of the motor symptoms of PD, can limit use of some drug therapies. Identification of drug-induced symptoms, such as ICDs, enables withdrawal of the offending drug as the principal management strategy. Research is ongoing in an effort to develop more specific therapies for PD-related neuropsychiatric symptoms.
